Cabinet Painting · Trophy Club, TX
Trophy Club kitchens are usually bigger than the quote assumes.
Cabinet work here is nearly always a large-kitchen job: stacked uppers running to a high ceiling, plus a butler’s pantry, a bar and mudroom lockers that people forget belong to the same project.
Here is what cabinet painting in Trophy Club actually involves.
Piece count drives a cabinet quote, not the floor area of the kitchen. A Highlands or Trophy Wood kitchen is frequently eighty to a hundred pieces once the pantry, bar and mudroom doors are counted, and that number is the job. We count and note every door and drawer front at the walkthrough, which is also why a considered proposal sometimes differs from a number given over the phone.
Most of the stain-grade cabinetry in this area is alder or maple from the 2000s, and the two behave differently. Maple is tight and slick, so the factory finish has to be properly de-glossed or nothing bonds to it. Knotty alder needs its knots sealed with a shellac-based spot primer before a pale finish, or they bleed through as brown rings within months. Neither step is expensive; both have to be priced in rather than discovered later.
Here is what the price covers.
- A detailed written quote outlining the work and how long it will take
- A color session with our Color Consultant — nothing starts until you approve
- Full preparation of every door, drawer front and cabinet box
- Cabinet painting carried out to minimize disruption to your kitchen
- Honest, transparent communication from friendly, trained employees
- Satisfaction guarantee, and a crew you can call after the job is done
Cabinet Painting in Trophy Club, in detail.
The parts of a cabinet painting job that people ask about separately.
These are the questions we hear most about cabinet painting in Trophy Club.
Should the pantry and mudroom be included?
Usually — a repainted kitchen next to a pantry still in the original finish is the most common reason the job looks half-done afterwards. We price them separately so it is your call.
Will the knots show through white paint on alder?
They will, unless the knots are sealed with a shellac-based primer first. Any quote that omits that step will be coming back within a year.
What type of paint is best for cabinets?
Semi-gloss and gloss finishes are the best choice. Cabinets see a lot of use and wear, and glossier finishes offer higher durability as well as a surface that is easier to clean.
Is it a good idea to paint kitchen cabinets?
If you want to freshen up your kitchen and change the look of the space, painting your cabinets is an extremely easy and affordable way of doing it. The best way to make sure it adds value is to hire professionals who use top-quality paint and help you select the right color.
How invasive is the process?
The average cabinet job takes between three and four days and the process is fairly invasive. We discuss exactly what to expect up front and how we will minimize the disruption.
